In Wartales, players can take control of their squad during the Middle Ages, where they can explore the world, recruit fighters and uncover the secrets of ancient tombs. Heroes need to find or create good equipment, weapons and armor in order to successfully resist gangs of bandits.
A lot of importance, on the battlefield, has the correct character setup when pumping specializations. Players themselves choose the desired build of characters from different classes. Each character of the corresponding class has its own subclasses. Sub classes give certain priorities and can completely change the tactics of combat. To increase the chances of winning, you need to properly configure the characters and choose the right specializations.
Features of the character with a spear.
with a spear is a melee class with a slightly longer attack range of approximately 1 square. You can turn a spearman into an attacking character or a support character, where the spearman attacks opponents from the back of a comrade or holds back opponents. In all cases, the spearman makes a significant contribution to the battlefield. You just need to decide on the desired class of spearman and understand its location.
The spearman wears medium armor and a spear weapon that provides some protection for the character, but dueling positions are not desirable. The fact is that the spearman in most cases is designed to attack from a distance of 1 cell. This distance allows you to attack enemies who are already in a duel with some comrade. At the same time, the spearman is able to fight in the forefront if such moments occur on the battlefield.
Class “Harpooner”.
The harpooner class is designed to deal damage from a distance and the ability to hit multiple opponents. In order to hit several opponents, you need to find a suitable place, and the opponents must stand in a row. After carrying out a remote attack, it is better to hide behind the backs of your comrades. And send tanks to the attacked opponents, when the tanks enter into a duel, the harpooner can continue to safely attack the enemies.
– Second level.
Harpooner, and probably all Spearman classes, at the second level, the Glorious Support or Valorous Insolence specialization is suitable. Since the main role of the harpooner is to support comrades who fight in a duel with the enemy. Therefore, there will be a lot of moments where our harpooner will be next to an ally. Glorious Support specialization allows you to gain 1 Valor while near an ally at the end of the turn and out of combat.
– The third level.
The harpooner gains a basic ability at the third level, which is called “Spear Throw”. Spear Throw ability is designed to hit opponents at a distance of 10 meters, which is very attractive, especially for a melee character. At the same time, within a radius of 10 meters, you can hit several opponents standing in a row. Attacking with Spear Throw deals 11 damage to the enemy. Additionally, the Bleeding effect is applied to the first enemy that hits. Bleeding drains 20% of the enemy’s health at the end of their turn.
The distance, 10 meters, allows the character to be in an advantageous location and cover a large area for action. In addition, the first good attack significantly increases the chances of winning. Moreover, bleeding allows you to successfully deal with heavily armored opponents.
– Fifth level.
When choosing a specialization at the fifth level, you need to build on your preferred tactical actions. Considering that the harpooner can be in different positions on the battlefield, entering into battle, be next to a friend or next to the enemy. In most cases, the harpooner provides attack support to allies and is not far from the ally and can be close to the ally.
When positioned next to an ally.
For being close to an ally, the specialization “Community Sense” is suitable, which gives the harpooner “Brutality”. Cruelty increases damage by 30% when near an ally. It can even work if the harpooner himself is in a duel and some ally is standing next to him. With the right arrangement of comrades and moving in pairs, you can significantly increase the chances of winning.
Or, you can upgrade the Ardent Support specialization if the harpooner is next to an ally who is in a duel with the enemy. In this case, you can increase the damage dealt to the dueling opponent from 8 units. The Ardent Support specialization works in the passive mode, and the same way as the Sense of Friendship significantly increases the chances of winning.
With a ranged attack.
If the harpooner mainly uses the main ability “Spear Throw”, then you can upgrade the specialization “Bullseye”. In this case, hit enemies at a distance will receive the Imbalance effect and their defense will be reduced to 0, for 1 turn. But, in terms of efficiency, it does not look very attractive, unlike other available specializations at the fifth level.
The description does not quite correctly describe the Bull’s-eye specialization, about attacks made on long-range fighters. In fact, it works on all fighters if the Spear Throw ability was used. You just need to find the nearest possible enemy, shoot the “Spear Throw” and the enemy should have an imbalance effect and defense reduced to 0.
Conclusion on the class “Harpooner”.
The harpooner is quite an interesting class, where a melee character is able to slightly replace the archer. Of course, the harpooner is more of a close class or almost a close one. Since it can attack opponents with a distance of one cell and not join the battle after the attack. However, it is a significant priority on the battlefield, allowing for early and unanswered attacks. At the same time, if you use a harpooner paired with a tank, then victory over the enemy will be guaranteed, even if he is in heavy armor. As a result, Harpooner is ideal for early ranged attacks on opponents.
Class “Caller”.
The Herald class is more about supporting allies, and only then standard melee combat. It makes sense to pump the herald if the team has comrades with high damage. In another case, the herald will not bring great priority on the battlefield.
– Second level.
At the second level, you can upgrade the Valorous Insolence specialization if you prefer to be close to the enemy, without entering the battle. Or the Glorious Support specialization, if the herald will constantly be near an ally and not engage in a combat duel. In both specializations, the herald will gain 1 Valor.
– The third level.
The main ability of the herald “Battle cry”, is pumped at the third level. After activating the Battle Cry ability, all allies within 4 meters gain the Rage effect. Fury of the Warcry grants a chance to increase your next attack by 50%. Before the start of the battle, it is advisable for the herald to select clusters of allies, activate the ability and continue the attack. The cost of using a Warcry is 2 Valor.
– Fifth level. To be near a friend.
If you take into account that the herald will be next to a comrade, then you can pump the specialization “Sense of comradeship”. In this case, in passive mode, cruelty is activated, which increases damage by + 30%. The increase in damage is not significant, but it makes it possible to speed up the battle with the enemy.
Or pay attention to the Ardent Support specialization, which is triggered when the herald is next to a comrade. Suitable for moments when one of the allies is in a duel, and the herald helps with an attack. If the enemy deals damage to an ally in a duel, they will be hit back with the Ardent Support specialization, which will deal 8 damage.
Conclusion on the class herald.
Herald in most cases is designed to increase damage to allied fighters who are in a duel. In all other respects, the battle tactics are like those of an ordinary spearman, attacks from the back of an ally. The main ability “Battle Cry”, increases damage to allies by 50% on the next attack. It is difficult to say about the need for such an ability if all the comrades are fighting in different parts of the battlefield.
Probably the herald is suitable for tactics when most of the allies are nearby and jointly push through the opponents. That is, the herald is in the center and supports nearby comrades with an increased attack. In this case, it makes sense to pump the herald class. If, on the other hand, the allies are in different places, then the herald’s “Warcry” ability becomes useless.
Class “with a pike”.
The “Pikeman” class, of all the available classes for the “Spearman” character, is the most difficult in tactical actions. The difficulty lies in the fact that you need to guess the movement of the enemy at the time of his next move. Guessing the movement of enemies is needed for the main ability “Spear Wall”. The pikeman is the support of the allies from the attacks of the opponents, where his task will be to cover and delay the opponents in one direction.
Desirable pumping “with a pike”.
– Second level.
At the second level, you can upgrade the Glorious Support or Valorous Insolence specializations, since the pikeman can be near the enemy and next to the ally. It all depends on your discretion and tactics. On the other hand, the Glorious Victory specialization doesn’t fit very well, since the pike class doesn’t do much damage, so it will rarely work. Considering the with a pike support functions, Glorious Support or Valorous Insolence would be the most appropriate specializations.
– The third level.
At the third level for a pikeman, you can choose the main specialization, which is called “Spear Wall”. Designed to delay attacking opponents from a certain direction. After activation, a field of further action appears in front of the pikeman, about 3 meters, which the pikeman will control. When the enemy enters the given field of the pikeman, he will receive a spear attack and stop. If the pikeman is in combat, then the Spear Wall ability will not be able to be used.
It is necessary and important to note the following points, the “Spear Wall” ability does not work on archers, they knock the character out of position. This is because they do not move and can immediately launch a ranged attack. That is, the ability only works on melee opponents. At the same time, it does not make sense to activate on an opponent who is in a duel, since he will not move.
– Fifth level.
You can pump any of the specializations presented, but it is advisable to stop the choice between “Community Feeling” or “Ardent Support”. In this case, you need to constantly be close to the ally. In the sense of comradeship plan, you can increase damage by +30%. And Ardent Support will make it possible to deal 5 damage to the enemy if he attacks an ally. The choice is quite difficult, since the pikeman, when next to an ally, already provides good help.
Probably, the Ardent Support specialization will be more in demand if the pikeman is constantly next to an ally who is in a duel. Additional attacks will only speed up the victory over the enemy and simplify the gameplay. On the battlefield, it’s tedious to just try to start making a pike move at the very last turn. Very effective against opponents that deal multiple hits in one turn.
As for the specialization “Equipment”, it is more suitable for the main ability “Wall of Spears”. If the pikeman stands next to an ally, he will activate the “Wall of spears” ability, in the other direction, and another enemy will run into this field. Thus, you can increase the damage from the ability, but there will be very few such moments. Therefore, in most cases, the use of the specialization “Community Sense” can be counted on standard attacks.
Conclusion on the class with a pike.
with a pike in most cases is designed to deter an unnecessary and unnecessary attack on a dueling ally. Unfortunately, Spear Wall has a limited radius of only 3 meters. It is impossible to cover the whole flank and you have to choose a more suitable direction. If you guess the direction of movement of the attacking enemy, you can reset his move and the planned attack. This is good for deterring strong opponents that can take a significant amount of health.
You can fixate on one enemy and constantly, on every turn, use the “Wall of Spears” ability, then the enemy will not be able to strike. But, if an enemy archer appears, he will most likely reset the stance and there will be no effect from the Spear Wall ability. It is difficult to say how much a pikeman is needed on the battlefield, but there are times when stopping the enemy is very important.
Conclusion on the character “Spearman”.
The spearman is one of the most needed characters on the battlefield, as he has very useful classes and the ability to attack in one cell. That is, the spearman can attack opponents almost from a distance, which makes it possible not to receive damage in response. It is very important to choose the right and the right class when leveling a spearman in order to increase the chances of winning. The most suitable position on the battlefield is behind the backs of comrades, this tactic is inherent in all spearman character classes.
The only thing that matters for a spearman is having multiple tanks on the team with heavy armor, someone needs to take the damage. With the right set of satellites and competent tactical actions, battles will be much easier. Comrades in medium armor hold back the attacks of strong opponents worse, and this moment noticeably complicates tactical actions.
– For newbies.
For beginners, the Harpooner class is ideal, which almost replaces the archer. Harpooner is easy to control and allows you to make active early attacks. At the same time, it goes well with all available characters and classes. It is important to keep him away from opponents and avoid dueling. Then the harpooner will be able to provide constant support with an active attack and stay in battle longer.
The main weapon, the spear, is capable of attacking enemies at a distance of 1 cell. And this moment hints at the fact that a spearman in any class must keep his distance from opponents. If you allow a duel with the enemy, then it is desirable that the enemy be no more than medium armor and with one-handed weapons. In a long duel, the harpooner will not be able to fully provide active attacks with his ability and have an advantage on the battlefield.
– For experienced players.
The other two classes, “Gashatiy” and “Pikeman”, are suitable for experienced players and when there is already a set of teammates. The herald will help increase the damage level of an ally, which will make it more comfortable to fight in a duel. At the same time, it is advisable to pair the herald with a friend who deals a lot of damage. Pikeman allows you to deter opponents from unwanted attacks and his place is also next to an ally. Since they are dressed in medium armor and are more intended to provide support with abilities and weapon attacks.
